Lincoln’s Washington At War
1 x 60’, 2013, HD
In 1861, one month after President Abraham Lincoln took office, shots rang out at Charleston’s Fort Sumter, signalling the start of the US civil war. Regiments of soldiers flooded into Washington DC, streets teemed with the wounded, and escaped slaves flooded into its borders while Lincoln desperately tried to save the nation from secession.

When Martin Luther nailed his 95 ‘points for discussion’ to Wittenberg’s Castle church, his quiet life exploded into international confrontation, an argument with the Pope, and ultimately, the Protestant Reformation. A simple monk pitted against the might, power, and money of Rome. But while the religious, social and political consequences have been much discussed, we reveal a fundamentally human story of honesty, faith and fortitude.

The formidable racial prejudice that Nelson Mandela encountered on moving to Johannesburg, South Africa’s biggest city, lead to his rapid politicisation and fight to topple apartheid. This programme charts the events that began one of the most legendary civil rights campaigns of the twentieth century.
This engrossing series presents historical events in a radical new way: not looking back with hindsight, but as they were covered by national and local news broadcasts at the time. This footage, much of which has not been seen for decades, gives an intimacy and immediacy to stories we thought we knew. Covering topics from the 1940’s to the modern day, including Pearl Harbor, LA Riots, The Assisation of Malcom X and many more.

At Chicago’s 1893 World Fair, serial killer HH Holmes murdered as many as 100 people. The fair went down in history for exhibiting the first Ferris wheel, the first modern radio and the first motion pictures. 27 million people attended, but none of them knew that there was a new kind of urban criminal hatching a plan four miles away.

Born in one of the most rural parts of South Africa, Nelson Mandela was adopted by the Thembu royalty after the death of his father. But for many, the lure of the city is more powerful than an aristocratic lifestyle in the country. This is the story of Mandela’s flight to Johannesburg.
